Death OF mrs. NEcO,ure.

Albertine VoOrheS was born
in Holmes county Ohio, April
18th, 1913, and was married to
Andrew Mcclure in 1867. They moved
to Chase county, Kas., in 1873, and
from thence to Lyon county in 1885,
and since then they have resided upon
farm about four miles northeast of
this city. Mrs. Mcclure united with
the Christian church at Millersburg,
Ohio, at the age of seventeen, and ever
continued to trust Savior's love and
power. She babe adieu to her home on
earth Lords day at IL a. M, and We
trust she has gone to a mansion in our
Fathers house, where she waits
to welcome her loved ones.
The funeral services were con-
Quoted at the house yesterday,

mains were buried in Maplewood
Cemetery. A husband, three children
and many friends are left to mourn her
loss here, and her numerous friends

ST.. JOSEPH, No.. Nov. 22.-Ar-
rangements were completed for the
erection of hotel to cover half block
and to cost 5000, GOO.
Upon the statement of a railroad
man of standing the Herald published
theory TO the effect that the Union
Pacific management is slowly but
surely perfectIng plans by means of
which it can unload the main line of
the Union Pacific on the government
when the bonds become due, or before
that time. It is well known fact that
the Indebtedness to the govern
ment is secured only as regards
the main lines, and the encumbraDce
does not extend TO the branches. Dur
ing the present summer the st. Joseph
s. Grand Island, running west from
this city, has been extended to Alma.
The plan is to utilize this
road when it has been
extended to Denver in connection with
the Rio Grande, the Central Pacific
and other branches already built or
being built. This would not only give
a much shorter line, but it would run
through more populous country, and
could command vastly more local
business. But above all it would
rid the Union Pacific of most burden
some deal, which that corporation viii
hardly be prepared to pay when the
bonds come due.

conversation on the street or elsewhere.
And in doing this, because we do not
twist and distort it TO meet q supposed
partisan requisite, we are denounced
as favoring saloons and democracy.
1t is an old saying that he who cries
culprit. That this is equally applicable
to politics and temperance is shown by
the course of the Republican, which
one day denounces female suffrage and
drug store licenses and the next poses
as the wOuld-be champion of both.
The prohibition and politics of THE
News have no string tied to them.
But both are of the kind that are
practical and not theoretical. We do
not preach prohibition in Kansas and
take our cocktail in Kansas City.
Neither do we talk radical republ-
canism all the year around until
election day comes, and then bolt the
ticket because some candidate does
not suit us.
On the other hand, we practicS
temperance and therefore have a right
to find fault and attempt to correct
mistakes made by people who claim to
be in favor of temperance.
With republicanism it is the same
So far we have been fortunate enough
to abide where good men and true havI
been put on republican tickets as candi
dates for office, and we have therefor
always supported the ticket. But whel
it shall be our misfortune to be wher
the republican or any other ticket ha
for candidates any persons whom W
know or have good reason TO think ar
not honest or capable, just that 500
will we refuse to vote for or supper
them.
In the meantime, we claim the priv
lege of every American citizen, to crit
CHE what what we think is wrong o
foolish in any or all parties, TO tax
the right and leave the wrong and
advocate by all the means in our pow0
what we think is to the best interest
of the party we have always supported
However, if giving our readers tn
news just as it is collected, without an
attempt at misconstruction constitute
being soft on prohibition and repuI
licanism, then we suppose we wi
have to plead guilty to the charge.

THE MpRRAY LAW.

The Republican still insists that
THE NEWS is in favor of open saloons
and high license.
THE NEWS is not in favor Of
open saloons. 1t believes that the
closing of saloons in this state is the
one only real benefit that prohibition
has done, inasmuch as the open saloon
las a general thingl is the worst
breeder of crime on the face of the
globe.
But THE NEWS does think that the
sale of liquor for medical, mechanical
and scientific purposes" and that a
tax on it for these purposes is just as
legitimate and lawful as a tax on other
things for other purposes. Every resi-
dent in this state at all con-
versant with the matter. knows that in
Kansas and Iowa an immense amount
of liquor is being used for medical,
mechanical and scientific" purposes.
This being so, why should it not be
taxed?
Again, it is fact that in the city of
Emporia there is an average of over $40
sent out each day to Kansas City alone
for beverages prohibited by the law.
How much the express companies send
for and deliver here we do not know.
But it must be much more than even
this showing of postal orders. There
are, even in this goodly city, clubs of
boys under the age of 10 who regularly
send to Kansas City for their cases of
beer and wine. At least we are in
formed to this effect by gentleman of
this city whose word no one who knows
him will doubt.
Now, with the above so well estab-
lished that no one can successfully dis
pute them, why should common sense
not admit that a law should be amend
ed which admits of even worse abuses
than those mentioned above?
And yet, with all these facts staring
us in the face, and others even worse,
the Republican, in its weak attempts to
pander to what it supposes is the ma
jority sentiment of the city, finds fault
with THE NEWS because it lays bare a
few naked truths that the eyes of the
people may note them.
In contrast with the prejudiced COM
ments of the Republican, is the follow
ing from the State Journal. While it
takes strong enough grounds in favor
of prohibition to suit the most radical,
yet it represents THE NEWS in the
sphere to which it aspires-that of
being not the leader but the exponent
of public sentiment-as giving the
news rather than it's own ideas:
The Emporia News says that there
is feeling in Emporia in favor of
high license. Considering the fact
| that the constitution would have to be
amended, the whole temperance legis-
lation of the past six years overthrown
and the entire state set by the ears in
another prohibition campaign in order
to give Emporia high license, the PIE
valence of such feeling is somewhat
ridiculous. Probably the next step in
prohibitory legislation will be to place
i the sale of liquor in the hands of
| salaried state agents, as in Sweden.
| The radical prohibitionist have long
been in favor of this idea.

IT at last looks as if the Mormon
church was doomed and that the
United States government was in real
earnest, as, after hard struggle in the
courts it has actually taken possession
of the temple block in Salt Lake City
which includes the famous Mormon
temple. Marshal Dyer seized this
property last Tuesday and left the
buildings in the hands of the deputies.
The parsonage, guard-house and his
torian's Office have also been seized,
and the next step will be to appropriate
the property held in various parts Of
Utah by seventeen Mormon church
associations, or ''stakes of Zion" val
